Oops! I did it Again

Ask me how I know.

When the recipe writers tell you to remove an avocado pit with a spoon, do not take it out with the knife. If you try to stab it--even if you have done so many, many times--this is the time the pit will roll and the knife will go through the avocado and into your palm. Slowly, I will learn all the lessons the kitchen has to offer in avoiding danger.

{Sigh} So we spent a couple of hours in the emergency room last night. I couldn't stitch to pass the time because I was bleeding. The good news is, now that the bleeding is controlled, I can stitch again. That and no skin graft. That's pretty good news too.

Sounds like we have the same kind of luck. I've recently had to have knee surgery due to an old injury and am waiting for the same on the other knee. Same type of injury, at a different time - both 10-12 years ago. When people ask if I was an athlete (due to the nature of the injury) I lie and say yes. The truth is far too embarrassing. I'm a walking accident waiting to happen. So - are you a chef in training?

I did something similar, and I was intrigued to discover that they have full-time people at the hospital I visited who stitch wounds all day. I was thinking I could do that job, and so could you! In fact, after viewing Mr. Wound Technician's sloppy-looking stitches (with black thread--tsk), I decided I could do a better job than he could.

well my first thought was silly twit ... my second ouch ouch and the third mmmm bet you won't do that again!!! ..lol .. seriously though hope it heals fast and does't cause you too much bother ... love mouse xxxxx

Ouch!! So sorry. I don't stab my pit - I just whack the pit with a big chef's knife - the knife gets stuck in the pit, and then I can pull it out. The tricky part is getting the knife blade out of the pit, but I have been lucky so far. Hope it heals quickly.

I might have to let you share my husband's nickname for me - "Mrs. Oops" :) Although I'm very handy in the kitchen I do tend to have minor incidents there and with yard equipment. Fortunately I have a high pain threshold and he's learned not to freak out when I say "Honey? Can you bring me a band-aid?"Get better soon!!
